That is a rare occurrence. Most people`s earliest memory is when they are about 5-y-o

I'd say I have quite a few memories up to the age of five, I'll be sixty this year.

My earliest memory is aged 3 at Oakfield kindergarten. I was repeatedly rocking back on my chair and told the teacher I was bored and wanted to go home. She made me stand in the wastepaper basket for the rest of the lesson. I don't think that would be allowed these days somehow!

Weirdest thing though I can remember collecting the Esso coins with the England squad on them in 66 but I have no recollection of us winning the world cup
mind you my old man and certainly my mum were not into sports |

I've got a bunch of early memories, but hard to know which is the very 1st memory. I vaguely remember the 66 world cup aged 4, I watched about 3 seconds of it and remember my dad telling me it was the world cup.

My first football match was Palace at home to Preston North End, 1974.

I remember being dragged around a supermarket by my mother and I was crying cos I hated it. She looked along way up back then. She said stop crying or I'll give you something to cry for. I guess I was about 3 or 4?

Fast forward 50 odd years and the missus does exactly the same

Come to think of it my second memory is clearer - coming home from nursery to find someone had stolen my toddler police car from our back yard - who does that?
I would hazard a guess that negative memories are remembered more overall. |

I dont have any memories of anything under the age 5, i have pictures and stories from under that age where i can sort of recall it but not certain.

By:
Definitely from aged 3 possibly 2 I remember my parents telling me how great I was for tying my shoelaces at 2yo and can remember getting the well dones etc. but couldn't confirm I was 2 from the memory if that makes sense.
Can remember bombing about in a yellow car that I painted Black at 3yo have the pictures to prove it covered in paint with the girl who lived 2 doors away. Can remember knocking my teeth out at 3yo also ![]() |

For many years I was convinced my earliest memory was a trip on the train to Catterick races and that it was July 1957 when I'd have been 22 months. I remember it clearly, so much so that I know the winner of the last race on the card as my Dad was screaming it home. Recently I looked up an old form book only to find that it was actualy July 1958. So I've had to revise my earliest memory as I have a clear memory of my mum bringing home my new baby brother - which would have been April 1958.

Apparently the part of the brain that stores long term memory doesn't start working at all until two plus at the earliest. Which is a shame really. We've had some lovely days out with my Granddaughter who is two in July, and I keep thinking 'she'll never remember any of this' despite to all appearances, having a great time.

Disposable. We had a downstairs bathroom and the shower cubicle was used to store the packs of nappies. I remember being told to fetch one, which I did, and then laying down in the backroom, ready to be changed.

I remember my parents taking me to see an aunt and uncle in Bristol. I can remember vividly sitting in a field with new cut grass, which felt very sharp to me at the time. I remember my uncle walking towards us, he'd been cutting the grass and he was hot and red. Some years later when I was telling my mother this, she told me I was 18 months old at the time.

I can remember holding my belly in when mum inserted the pin into a terry's nappy... age unknown.
I also recall the nursery (4ish) and my grandfather dying on the evening of my 4th birthday ![]() |

I can remember incidents from the age of three but my memory has distorted things a little .
